This stone and hardy will be on the all the buildings.4-5 colors will be used. Christine: Was more greenspace added around the pool area?Jim Thomas,Cityscape Residential: The sidewalks might have moved,but it's the same amount we presented in our first site plan. Christine: What's the size of the pool?Jessica Sewell: Our pools are typically 1,500 sq. ft. Christine: There's been discussions in breaking up the long building along SMR.Is there a possibility to separate these three buildings? Jim Thomas: Originally,there was an off set to this building,and the pool was located on the outside of the building,along SMR. The adjacent neighbors told us they didn't want the pool to be located along SMR,so we moved it to be within this development. We are complying with every detail of the PUD. Christine: I like the new location of the pool.We just had the concern of the long facade and what can you do to break it up?Carrie: I like how the building renderings look.There's a lot of variation to it.Josh: I was the one who thought the building mass along SMR was very large.Jon Dobosiewicz: There's a 30' horizontal offset between building#1,clubhouse,and building#2. Carrie: From the sight line exhibits,you are showing if you are standing on 111"' Street and on SMR,you won't be able to see the 5-story building.Jim Thomas: Correct.The berm is 6' in height and is close to the curb.Jon Dobosiewicz: There's landscaping along the fronts of Spring Mill Place,and there's landscaping along SMR and 111tb Street. Carrie: Is an access required along 111tt'Street?Alexia Lopez: It's allowed in PUD,but not required.Josh Kirsh: The City Engineer could not be here tonight. He believes that there should be a roundabout there for safety purposes and wants a connection.He believes that a right-in,right-out is not the safest option. It will not be like the Dorset Blvd.roundabout. The City Engineer believes the movement will be heavier from the south going to the Market District to shop.The traffic study supports that majority of people will be traveling north at this access point. Carrie: Is there an example of two roundabouts this close to each other?Jon Dobosiewicz: A variance is being requested because the PUD doesn't allow it. Illinois Street has changed in the last 10 years and the 111th Street overpass now exists. The Cannel Engineer provided us specifications,and we will design it. Josh: I love adding greenspace,but now just provided a place for dogs to poop.I would recommend having dog poop bags,or change the natural of this space,adding more hardscape,a grill,etc.Jim Thomas: We will add poop bags around this development. Christine: I like the added greenspace area.I would like to see some more benches. Josh: We would like to see one 8-ft multi-use path on side of the road, instead of having 5-ft sidewalks on both sides of the road.Can you add a gravel or mulch(natural)path for people to walk their dogs? Josh: Can Staff resolve the outstanding items in-house, instead of coming back to next month's Committee?Alexia Lopez: We just need them to submit their revised plans. We would like to see a better pedestrian circulation that creates safer routes for people to walk through the site. We have safety concerns with the crosswalks behind the garages.Jon Dobosiewicz: We will meet with David Littlejohn,Cannel Alternative Transportation Coordinator,and take in his comments and changes.

Residential Committee Meeting Minutes 2-1-22 3 Christine: What is currently being proposed in the area south of the duplexes for the additional 5-6 on-street parking spaces?Jon Dobosiewicz:An 8-ft greenspace area. Christine: I would rather have the greenspace kept,and not the 5 additional parking spaces. Carrie: I could go either way.Do we have enough guest parking?Josh: Having enough overflow parking is always a concern for us in these types of developments.Alexia Lopez: We can identify this as bank parking and have it stated in the PUD if there are complaints about not enough parking,to install it later.Jon Dobosiewicz: The cost to add 5 on-street parking spots later would be five-times more. We would agree to banking them or install them per the discretion of the PC.Josh: This development will have 40%greenspace, so I would rather have the 5 parking spaces built now.If we wait to add the spaces later,they will ask for the City to improve the ROW.It will be a 10%increase in on-street parking.Better be safe than sorry.Brandon Bart: We haven't had any parking issues at our similar developments.We are at 2.86 parking spaces per unit,which we usually average 2.5 spaces at our other developments. Steve Pittman: There's a massive parking lot for overflow parking across Spring Mill Road.
